LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles, Las Vegas Bureau) – At a rally on Wednesday night, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump suggested that President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were the “founders” of ISIS, the Islamic State terrorist group.

Trump’s comment drew criticism and outrage even from members of his own party.

On Thursday, Trump took to his Twitter account to say that he was just being “sarcastic” about his ISIS comment.

He also admitted for the first time that he was also just being sarcastic about running for president of the United States.

That’s it. The 2016 presidential election is over!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s official: Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao is coming out of retirement and returning to the ring.

Pacquiao, who was recently elected senator of the Philippines, has confirmed that he will fight WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas on Nov. 5 in Las Vegas.

The main reason? He is not earning enough money as an elected public official.

The 37-year-old Pacquiao said he was excited to return to the ring and said he has to fight again to earn a living. “I’m helping the family of my wife and my own family, as well. Many people also come to me to ask for help and I just couldn’t ignore them,” he said on Wednesday.

Prior to being elected senator, Pacquiao served as a congressman representing his home province of Sarangani, and was the number one absentee member of the lower house.

In Rio, Athletes Compete To Be Top, In Sao Paolo, The Race Is To Be Bottom (Parental Guidance)

Twenty-seven women competing to win the title of best bottom in Brazil got into the Olympic spirit yesterday by running in their own 100-metre sprint – in nothing but skimpy bikinis. They ran down the famous Avenida Paulista, Sao Paolo’s main street.

The women are all hopefuls for the title of Miss Bumbum, Brazil’s most popular beauty pageant for those “left behind.”

While the parade of beauties delighted thousands upon thousands of spectators, one particular lady who was recently spotted watching the women’s gymnastics in Rio, was not a happy camper.

You guessed it right. Kim Kardashian!
